Here I describe how I installed '''Lubuntu-12.04''' on my '''Lenovo E600A''' laptop.<<BR>> Hope that will be helpful to someone. = My Lenovo laptop = Model: Lenovo E600A<<BR>> CPU: Intel Centrio (PentiumM 1.6GHz)<<BR>> Memory: 768MB<<BR>> GPU: nVIDIA Geforce FX go 5200<<BR>> HD: 38GB, C:--NTFS 10GB, D:--FAT32 10GB, FreeSpace: 17GB<<BR>> OS: WindowsXP SP4 on C:<<BR>> DVD-ROM: Yes, bootable<<BR>> USB: Yes, but not bootable<<BR>> I wanted to install Ubuntu 14.04 co-hosting with my WindowsXP at first.<<BR>> After failed with the bootable-DVD of Ubuntu 14.04, I know that my CPU '''does not support PAE'''. = Which release fit my machine? = From [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall|here]] I know the best one for my Lenovo-E600A is Lubuntu 12.04.<<BR>> After recording 2 DVD-ROMs of Ubuntu14.04 and Ubuntu12.04-nonPAE and failed both, I decided to install from HardDisk.<<BR>> Then I get __lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso__ [[http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/precise/release/|here]]. = Tools for install from Hard Disk = The installation will begin from the existing OS WindowsXP.<<BR>> Only the ''' grub4dos''', I found the grub4dos-0.4.4.<<BR>> Of course, the package tool, such as '''7zip'''. = Preparation for Installation from Hard Disk = *Start my E600A into Windows XP. *Put the ISO file to the root of "d:" (FAT32 disk) *Extract directory __casper__ from the ISO file to the root of "d:" *Copy file __grldr__ to the root of "C:" (the boot disk of Windows XP) *Creat a file named __menu.lst__ with following content: title Install Lubuntu<<BR>> root (hd0,1)<<BR>> kernel /casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso ro<<BR>> initrd /casper/initrd.lz<<BR>> *Edit the windowsXP's __boot.ini__ file at root of "C:" to add the following line: C:\grldr="GRUB DOS"<<BR>> = Installation procedure = *Restart my laptop E600A *At the startup menu, choose "GRUB DOS" *At GRUB menu, choose "Install Lubuntu" *Then you will see the GUI with "try Lubuntu" and "Install Lubuntu" *Select "try Lubuntu", you will get into the live Lubuntu desktop. *Press "Ctrl+Alt+T" to open a terminal *In the terminal, run "ls -l /isodevices", you can find it's your "C:" disk. *In the terminal, run "sudo umount -l /isodevice" *Double click the "Install Lubuntu" icon on the desktop (It's the only icon). *Then follow the normal installation steps [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/InstallingLubuntu|InstallingLubuntu]] *Select "Install Lubuntu along with WindowsXP" = Important notes = 1. My WindowsXP's "C:" is NTFS format. It will not work if I put ISO file on "C:". 1. My "D:" is FAT32 format maybe that is the key fact for me to do it successfully. 1. Don't forget to umount the /isodevice, or the installation will be pending at partitioning. 1. After installation, If you find the Lubuntu's GRUB multi-boot menu font size is too big or too small <<BR>> You can try: <<BR>> Edit "GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480" in file __/etc/default/grub__ with your real LCD size.<<BR>> sudo vi /etc/default/grub <<BR>> Then update it: sudo update-grub
